Solicitor Mr John Szepietowski and his former building society manager wife Susan Ann lived in some style at their palatial home, Ashford House, Four Winds Park, St George's Hill, Weybridge Surrey.

Until one day as ARA interim director Alan McQuillan explains : "This case started with an initial investigation into the alleged laundering of the proceeds of drug trafficking from Turkey through an offshore trust which owns assets in the UK. "

"Mr Szepietowski was the solicitor who set up that trust for a client and also acted as trustee. "

"When ARA opened an investigation into the trust, the receiver soon uncovered a separate and complex web of fraud, money laundering and tax evasion by the Szepietowskis over a period of 15 years."

The agency alleged the Szepietowskis, obtained property by fraud and through the widespread use of false identities to conceal true ownership which they have consistently denied. It also alleged that the Szepietowskis benefited from a phoenix fraud scam, involving the publishing of adult magazines, but have nonetheless agreed to hand over £5.375 million in assets on 15 January 2008 , relating to the Merchant Taylor Company Limited, registered in the British Virgin Islands, Cobham Investments Limited and Cobham Investments Leisure Limited.

Although they have attempted to slim the claims down ,unsuccessfully and thereby established a useful point of law for the ARA in recovering assets as a result of crime in ivestigating their property empire said to be worth £33m, naturally they deny any wrongdoing. Somehow in some way David Gale (also known as David Moore) and Teresa Mandy Gale formerly of Christchurch, Hampshire were involved with John Szepietowski in his capacity as director and company secretary of Countess Investments Limited and trustee of the Heritage Investment Trust. (?)

The ARA has been forced to defend itself against lawyers testing whether it breaches human rights, exceeds its powers or freezes too many assets.

The Anti Noise from Aircraft website pays great credit to "John Szepietowski is a successful property developer and investor " who has provided, "generous donations and continued support" he has also financed the Cancer at Large website

More successful than Lord Patel trying to get Gordon Brown to stop the CIA organising riots against the Chinese treatment of ethnic Tibetans althopugh he has recently had one refused - "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Reduce the frequency and length of advertisments on Satellite Television".

He has however had a little more success because he wrote to the Times online on March 13th 2008 about the Heathrow incursion recently ..."It is sad to see that someone has had to resort to such tactics to express their anti airport expansion views. However, the BAA and the Government need to wake up and take notice of the very real opposition to Heathrow's expansion."John Szepietowski, Weybridge, Surrey UK

The Daily Telegraph reported in September 2004 that Dennis Publishing, which bought The Erotic Review (“the world’s most intelligent sex magazine” ) from its Editor Ms Pelling in July 2003, sold it this month to Alton Russell International(ARI). One of Alton Russell's directors and main shareholders is listed as Deric Botham, the editor of Penthouse UK one of the key lieutenants in the former porn magazine empire of the Express Newspapers owner the loathsome Richard Desmond, before he quit to set up as a pornography publisher in his own right (they publish Penthouse ) - what the Torygraph failed to mention was that the Chairman of ARI is John Szepietowski. They eventually sold the ER and it found it's way back to the original owners.

A man with a finger in many things -

UPDATE : 6th April . This Guradian article "Solicitor saga highlights problems facing cash recovery unit" by David Leigh & Rob Evans on Friday September 2nd 2006 provides some fascinating details about more of the the Szepietowski's activities, including their contacts with the colourful Freemason Lord Shannon, Eddie Soar, a wanted man using an alias, allegedly linked to a heroin trafficker in Turkey and Gabriel Bivolaru, a colourful Romanian politician and expert on tantric sex and at one time charged with sex with minors, since jailed for corruption.

Lord Shannon was attempting to divest himself of ancient baronial titles and Lords of the Manor which he consigned to Strutt and Parker to sell in November 2003. Lady Chichester intervened as her family held some of these titles ... the result was that Five lots, including the Barony of Barnstaple - 4, 8, 15, 28 and 41 - were withdrawn before the sale, half the other lots did not reach their reserve, and strangely there were no successful bid for Lots 5 & 25 ...the Lordship of the Manor of Monkstown - Lot 5 - and the Lordship and Territorial Barony of Barnahely - Lot 25 .

Leigh and Evans in their article write ..."Lord Shannon, who used Mr Szepietowski to help him sell off a portfolio of his own lucrative "lord of the manor" titles, said he was stunned by the ARA's move. He had always found the lawyer "very charming".... but then rogues invariably are.

I really cannot see what is funny about murdering two baby children and a man of 80 years of age ?? Can you ??Now who took possesion of Four winds in St George's Hill during the 1970s and how did they come to be there ? was it the Sophonapnich family who have caused massive problems in Asia due to their lies and corruption shooting and people over plots of land around Pattaya and rayong back in the 1980s, land that had been pruchased by King Frederick of Denmark from The king of Siam. It is these drug dealing poisoning bastards of hell who had me robbed over 4000 times. i want their family erased for the horrific satanic games they promoted into Thailand through the disgusting Scientology world who promoted RAPE in Thailand as a game.

Libya (is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. Bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Libya faces Egypt to the east, Sudan to the south east, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west.As a result of the 2011 Libyan uprising, there are currently two entities claiming to be the official government of Libya.[4] The regime of Muammar Gaddafi, which refers to the country as the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya[5] (Arabic: ‏الجماهيرية العربية الليبية الشعبية الاشتراكية العظمى‎[6] al-Ǧamāhīriyyah al-ʿArabiyyah al-Lībiyyah aš-Šaʿbiyyah al-Ištirākiyyah al-ʿUẓmā), controls Tripoli and several other cities in the western half of the country. The National Transitional Council of the Libyan Republic[7][8] (Arabic: الجمهورية الليبية al-Jumhūriyya al-Lībiyya), led by Mustafa Abdul Jalil, is based in Benghazi and controls the rest of the country. France, the United Kingdom and Portugal have officially recognized the Council as the sole government of Libya.[9][10][11][12] The Arab League has declared that the Gaddafi regime had "lost its legitimacy" and that it would instead "cooperate with the national council". [13] On 17 March 2011 the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 permitted its member nations to provide protection of Libyan civilians by "all means necessary", including a no fly-zone.[14] On 19 March 2011, allied military operations to enforce the no-fly zone and ceasefire commenced with the entry of French military jets into Libyan airspace. Reports of the first allied attacks on Gaddafi's military installations were received shortly after the first allied sorties were launched.[15]With an area of almost 1,800,000 square kilometres (700,000 sq mi), Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa by area, and the 17th largest in the world.[16] The capital, Tripoli, is home to 1.7 million of Libya's 6.4 million people. The three traditional parts of the country are Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica. Libya has the highest HDI in Africa and the fourth highest GDP (PPP) per capita in Africa as of 2009, behind Seychelles, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. These are largely due to its large petroleum reserves and low population.[17][18] Libya is one of the world's 10 richest oil-producing countries Among John Szepietowski kind, the ARA are Greedy dishonest bastards.John Szepietowski charity is almost a giant Sue and John Szepietowski is nearly five Sue feet high, and Asset though badly capable undernourished John Torygraph Szepietowski, weighs over a hundred pounds.
